John Ryan from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), takes aim at stress shoot event at the Annual Best Ranger Competition in Fort Benning, Ga on April 9th, 2022. Ryan is aiming down range at the targets while Arturi is spotting him. The spotter helps the sniper stay on track so they can hit their target.

    The stress shoot event is to test marksmanship in weapon proficiency while under stress and physically challenged. Soldiers are timed with limited ammunition and have to run with a manikin on a liter.
